Supreme Emperor of Swords

Wang Xiaoqi nodded with satisfaction. “So Captain Zhou, you have to work hard. I wonder if Captain Zhou, you have time, I’ll host you and those brothers later and have a drink together. How about that?”

Zhou Zhihao was immediately overjoyed. “That’s great. How can I dare ask Brother Wang to spend money?”

To tell the truth, if there was no relationship between Ding Hao and Ximen Qianxue and their relations with the top of the Sect, Zhou Zhihao would ignore Wang Xiaoqi, even one hundred Wang Xiaoqi were standing before him, but now…

Zhou Zhihao wished that this aquiline-nosed teenager was his own brother. As long as he was able to build a relationship with such geniuses as Ding Hao and Ximen Qianxue in the Sect, the benefits in the future would be absolutely incalculable. From now on, he could be proud among the ten leaders of the law enforcement team.

“Listen up, everyone! After my personal investigation as the team leader, Heavenly World is innocent. Sun Liang and his men have been dominating the market. Put them in the prison of the Outer Hall of Interrogation for six days…” Zhou Zhihao shouted at the crowd, and then personally he removed Wang Xiaoqi’s shackles, ordered the swordsmen to put those local bullies into the prison. He and a few confidants accompanied Wang Xiaoqi to go into the largest restaurant in the business district.

“(Click of the tongue). Unexpectedly Heavenly World has such a powerful background!”

“Yes. The people’s feeling is changeable. In this world, the strength has the final say. Captain Zhou’s face changes so fast!”

“Geniuses such as Ding Hao and Ximen Qianxue are really influential. In a low-level business district like ours, they are definitely big shots. Yes, but in the middle-level business district of the middle three-step area with things more complicated, things may be beyond their control.”

“That’s all for the future. Just thinking about now, this moment, who dares make trouble in Heavenly World?”

“It seems that there will be another big force in our lower-level business district, but Ding Hao is definitely not as arrogant as Sun Liang, which is a piece of good news for us businessmen.”

…

Ding Hao did not stay for long in Heavenly World.

After comforting the frightened Linghu Yingying and others, he introduced Ximen Qianxue to all the people, announcing a piece of shocking news that Heavenly World had obtained the sales right of Qi-Drawing Pill, and then he left the business district.

Originally it was a destruction disaster. Due to a coincidence, it turned out to be a propaganda meeting for Heavenly World, which made Linghu Yingying and others feel ecstatic.

Linghu Yingying, in particular, was originally one of the top saleswomen of Cauldron-forging Hall. Later, due to some of her own problems, she was in urgent need of a large sum of money. When Wang Xiaoqi learned this, he took the opportunity to headhunt her to Heavenly World with a large sum of money. She was still uneasy. Now that she knew the real backstage boss of Heavenly World, she couldn’t help rejoicing in her good luck.

In this cold world where the law of the jungle prevailed, only when the masters were really strong could their weak followers and dependents be protected to the greatest extent.

Almost everyone in the business district knew all of a sudden that the real owners of this shop were such big shots as Ding Hao and Ximen Qianxue.

Zhou Zhihao of the law enforcement team even threatened that Wang Xiaoqi of Heavenly World was his friend. Anyone who dared make trouble in Heavenly World would have a hard time with him. One should not blame him for being cruel in due course.

At the same time, the news that Heavenly World had obtained the right to sell the perfect version of Qi-Drawing Pill, about which everyone’s eyes were hot, also spread like wildfire, and it shook the business district.

This showed that the power of Heavenly World was not simple. At least it had the support of several inner core elders and powerful elders of Herb Hall so that it had got such an advantageous treatment.

As the news came out, those forces that were stirring immediately put out their thoughts on dealing with Heavenly World and began to try every means to have a close relationship with the new shop in order to make friends with the two promising stars of Ding Hao and Ximen Qianxue.

…

When Ding Hao returned from the business district, half of the sun had fallen under the silvery peaks in the distance.

The cold wind howled in the sky, and it was snowing heavily.

On half way, Ding Hao said goodbye to Ximen Qianxue. He came to the slum district in the garbage area behind the mountain with two little girls and Tian Shu, a wretched old man.

The small hut in the fenced yard where Ding Hao used to live had become the cleanest and most spacious building in the whole garbage area after continuous renovation by people in the slum these days.

Because parents knew better than anyone else that this would be the only chance for their children to get out of the slum and become a high-status warrior. There was a genius like Ding Hao in the slum, otherwise their offspring would always be like themselves, and they were poor slaves and would not see the day of becoming outstanding.

That was why they showed such great enthusiasm and tried every means to provide all kinds of conveniences for children!

In the afterglow of the snow, more than a dozen spacious wooden houses stood in the snow, and the whole courtyard expanded dozens of times, with generosity and dignity.

This was the school building of Invincible Martial Arts Academy.

Although the obscene old man Tian Shu was born of a profiteer, he always gave people the feeling of being unreliable, and in this funny academy, he also concentrated a lot of painstaking efforts to make the Academy look good. When Ding Hao arrived, there were still many children in the yard who were constantly exercising their bodies and even some adults who stood aside practiced with the children.

Although adults did not have the chance to join Swordsmanship-seeking Sect because of their age, it was still possible for them to do exercise for keeping fit.

The arrival of Ding Hao aroused people’s cheers.

In this slum, Ding Hao’s prestige was beyond imagination. Both adults and children regarded him as a savior.

Zhao Xingcheng, who once had conflicts with Ding Hao, passed the sect’s test last time and became a registered disciple of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Perhaps inspired by Ding Hao’s behavior, he had also become one of teachers in the Invincible Martial Arts Academy. He also spent some time every day to instruct the children’s cultivation. This former bully in the slums had now become a respected teenager.

“Martial Senior Brother Ding!” Zhao Xingcheng greeted Ding Hao with a smile.

Ding Hao responded with a smile, “You have done hard work.”

Zhao Xingcheng hurriedly motioned with his hand and said, “I should do all these things. I also hope that our children in poor areas can change their fate through hard work and become real warriors. Compared with what Senior Brother Ding did, what I did is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. Moreover, I am enjoying such a busy time now. Every time I think about those stupid things I did before, I feel ashamed!”

He told the truth.
